Cut up a whole chicken

CaptionTo learn an easy way to cut up a whole chicken we turn to Marcello Fiorentino, chef/owner of Marcello's La Sirena in West Palm Beach. He uses a technique we have never seen before. Then the pieces can go into the recipes he offers in the "Related Links" below.

CaptionWorking with the leg portion of the carcass, bend each leg at the joint to break the joint. Then use a knife to cut the leg/thigh piece from the carcass. This dark meat is best if it is braised. Put the backbone portion in the stockpot to use for soups and sauces.
